It’s where the sun appeared to rise for ancient observers in Italy and Greece, and where myth says that Aphrodite, Greek goddess of beauty and love, arose from the sea foam and walked into the lives of mortals. Levantina Bream are raised in an area with pure waters and strong currents. The techniques used to produce this superior fish are the product of decades of learning, and the farm is widely regarded as the most progressive in the Mediterranean.
